Best soundtrack yet :Djonfrog says: good luck to the runners updarthorcrux says: Wow, you mean there ARE people who actually listened to it instead of complaining about no John Williams? Color me impressed.deadtree says: This soundtrack and OotP are definitely my favorites from the series-- I hope it wins!Moose_Starr says: Well I liked this soundtrack better than the more recent movie sound tracks. lol I'll jump in and say that John Williams is my favorite movie sound track composer ... not just the HP movies but, in general. But, I did like the HBP soundtrack. However I also love the Milk soundtrack, that is a real awesome movie about the very awesome Harvey Milk, the soundtrack is composed by Danny Elfman who has written a lot of movie scores, too. missdelbridge says: Tough competition! But he should still win!! (Y)levi-OH-sa not levio-SA says: i really liked the soundtrack...it was almost subtle, like there wasn't even one. i really liked itmadman1277 says: Hope it wins, great score, really amazing.
Still... Cant wait for John Williams to be backNicci Weasley says: That is awesome! Deserves it!!Fifi says: Congratulations, Mr. Hooper!Hermione Elizabeth says: OMG! I so hope it wins! Mr. Hooper to me, is the best composer out of all the HP soundtracks.... I wish he was doing the DH ones. I have my fingers crossed for him to win!ARION says: EXCELLENT! Hedwig's theme by Williams is the signature piece by far, but I really started to get bored by the repetitious music for movie soundtracks 2-4; I believe the soundtracks were renewed with Hooper for 5&6 and I only wish he was also creating the music for the last two installments. Congrats.Pollytomat says: That's great news! However the competition will be tough - Alexander Desplat's soundtrack is very good and I agree with Mooze_Starr: Milk has also a great sound!Eeyore says: I love the soundtracks from both the HP scores that Nicholas Hooper did. They are wonderful, and I especially love some of the things that didn't make it into the film, in particular the one from the deleted scene that includes Snape looking out the window. It's just one of the pieces that shows the depth of Hooper's understanding of the film.
In only wish that he would do the last two films.Swizzle says: That's awesome!Mr. Brightside says: This is great news! mr. Hooper should win, 'In Noctem" beats every other music. oh and yeah, HA take that Twilight soundtrack! (because everyone here is so crazy about it >Wendelin the Weird says: Wow, congratulations, Mr. Hooper! I love this soundtrack, it's really amazing!cheeserpleaser says: It is wonderful that he has been recognized and nominated for an award for his work on the soundtrack for the sixth film. So innovative and creative was it as a soundtrack that it inverted, enriched, and enhanced the entire musical scheme that we associate with the franchise. In addition, it emotionally complemented the film in the most sublime and perfect fashion.Ravenclaw98 says: .YAY!darkveela says: I hope he wins, this is the best HP soundtrack until now, IMO.Giant Squid says: Great job Nicholas Hooper!!!!! Congrats!!Aga Veneficus says: I loved the score for HBP, but Giacchino must win. That man is one of the best composers out there.jenlynn619 says: It should be. It's absolutely gorgeous (blows John Williams out of the water in my opinion). I work at a daycare center and I play the soundtrack for the kids at nap time and it's great.alicia00 says: thoes are some serious competers but i hope harry potter wines thowalicia00 says: i hope Mr Hooper winsHBPFan says: Well earned Mr Hooper - you've written the best HP music, and you should go down in History for it :D I really hope you win!!
